All Sinner No Saint by Serena Akeroyd

Amazing consolidation of Great Story! 

This is a new release consolidating the MC duet Their Sinner and Their Saint into one book and what an amazing book it is. Even if you have read them before it's worth another read as they are amazing and theres an exclusive new scene that's been added as well.

I had already read the books when the were separate but when I saw that fantastic new cover and heard they were being joined I knew a reread was needed as soon as possible.

I love the characters in both halves of the story and the writing is phenomenal. We get 2 strong female characters who fall in love with more than one man.

The first half of the book focuses on Lucifer who is just returning to the MC with her daughter. She is determined to claim the men she has loved since she was a child. However, all 4 of them let her down when she was exiled and theres a lot of baggage to work through. 

It is all very well laid out and I couldn't help but love Lucie as you got to see how strong she was but also to see her softer side that she allowed with her daughter and her men.

The second half of the book is when Lucies daughter is 18. Amaryllis has suffered a trauma when she was kidnapped and has bad nightmares and can't be far from home. 

She can only sleep in the arms of Ink who is older than her and her daddies would kill if they knew. 

But he isn't the only one she needs she also loves keys and saint as well. The three of them are her sanity. 

This part of the book shows there relationships together. It has come to the point where Ama is determined to convince them all that she wants them as more than friends.

It shows as well that although Ama has been through a lot and has her struggles that she is also a strong woman and more like her mother than her quite mild mannered ways lead you to believe. 

These fit so well together so very pleased to see it released as a complete story. The new cover and name suits the story so much I love it.

Above The Surface by Serena Akeroyd


5/5☆ Got to love the weird!

I instantly knew this was going to go to the top of my reading list just from what I heard about it and it certainly didn't disappoint.

This one is done from the two lead characters points of view from both the past and the present so for some I know this might make them want to avoid. However, for me this just gave it an extra depth and made me more intrigued as I went along.

Thea has amazing focus and a great gift in the water. Love the way the character is written as she is quite reserved you can see so much more about her n grow to love her.

Adam is also an awesome character as he starts off lovely young guy who has family issues but the darker side comes through and left wondering who he really has become.

This is an emotional rollercoaster of a book and kept me guessing the whole way through. 

I would definitely recommend to those who like a teen romance. This isn't a typical bully romance but the start could put some off so I would say to keep reading! The rollercoaster is worth it.

Bound by Serena Akeroyd


5/5☆ Wow. Just What I needed!

I was so excited with the description of this book I sat up to midnight release day to download from Kindle Unlimited. After arguing with both Amazon Website and my Kindle I was frustrated and thought might need to wait to read. Well after first little bit of course.

Well I could not put it down! 

Lucia is not your typical female and definitely not your typical cop either. I loved her and as the story progressed and she's starting again I thought her job as reporter was epic I was giggling away at the town she was in.

Martinez is dark and though I wanted to dislike him, when he finds Lucia again after discovering she was undercover in the gang, I really couldn't. I loved him as well and you knew they belonged with each other despite everything.

I finished the book in one sitting and even on no sleep I couldn't regret it. The characters,  the story and the writing were all amazing. 

Serena definitely becoming a favourite author can't wait to read more of her. 

Highly recommend the book to all those who love romance with a darker twist.

Throne Of Glass by Sarah J. Maas


3/5☆ Promising start.

The idea behind this book had me interested straight away but I had put off for so long. Not even sure why just everything got in the way.

I'm so glad can now say I have started the series but at the same time I'm on the fence with it. To start with I really liked Celaena but she started getting on my nerves a bit as the book went on.

An 18 year old female assassin shes definitely had hard life and I really want to know more about her. With this opportunity to win her freedom she at times feels a bit immature and whiny which was what started annoying me. 

I liked her interactions with both Chaol and Prince Dorian but more so loved her with the Princess as she is also strong and independent. We definitely more of that for our young adults.

I haven't yet read the others in the series but do intend to and already bought the second one so I can continue the journey. As it is I would still recommend but I feel theres so much more needed so hopefully after read the rest it will help me to like this book as much as I want to.
